The Health Impact Assessment was authored by the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, IDEAS xLab, and the Commonwealth Institute of Kentucky, with additional support from the Health Impact Project - a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, with funding from the Kresge Foundation.

Through the HIA, we look at how our replicable arts and culture model provides a framework for rigorously and scientifically assessing in what ways (and why) Project HEAL’s community-wide approach may:

Decrease social isolation and improve social cohesion and civic engagement.

Create policy changes that positively impact health equity.

Increase opportunities for building inclusive economies through social/cultural entrepreneurship.

Increase opportunities for improving social emotional skills in youth.
